Monument record TR 05 SE 1 - Medieval earthwork in Denge Wood

Summary

Probable Medieval rectangular enclosure situated in Denge Woods, one mile east of East Stour Farm. Field investigations in 1964 found it to be near rectangular on plan, comprising a strong bank and outer ditch of unweathered profile. The interior was subdivided into three enclosures with probable original entrances in the northwest, northeast and southeast sides. An annexe at the northeast corner is probably contemporary.
